The Red Line

North Section

A morning interlude at the Charles/MGH station on the Red Line. MGH is the Massachusetts General Hospital whcih draws heavy passenger service. It is also the location of the proposed Blue Line extension that will connection with the Red Line if it is ever started and completed. North of the station is the Longfellow Bridge crossing the Charles River. All though it may appear as being moveable the four towers seem to be more decorative than functional since the bridge is and has been a fixed structure.
